At noon, the sun was the hottest, and Jiang Xiaobai and Lin Dawei walked out of the door and immediately felt a scorching wave of air.

"It's so hot, and you still come out to talk, I really don't know what you think."

Lin Dawei said depressedly.

Jiang Xiaobai could only laugh with him, but Tang Xiaozhou told him personally, and he could only tell the father-in-law about what he was going to do, so even if it was his mother-in-law and wife, he didn't dare to say it.

"Go over there, there's a tree there!"

Jiang Xiaobai pointed to an old elm tree in the middle of the dam and said.

The old elm tree was more than twenty meters high, the trunk was almost two people around, and there was a shade under the dense foliage.

The two of them walked under the old elm tree, and finally felt a little more comfortable.

Jiang Xiaobai took out Huazi, gave one to his father-in-law, and ordered it himself.

Lin Dawei spit out a puff of smoke and said, "Hurry up and say something!" ”

Jiang Xiaobai no longer grinded, and said directly: "Tang Xiaozhou asked me to convey to you, he said that his leader is coming to Jianyang Province, which is unofficial and will not be said to the public." ”

Lin Dawei's hand shook, and even the cigarette he had just lit fell to the ground, staring at Jiang Xiaobai with deep eyes, and asked in a deep voice, "What you said is true?" ”

Jiang Xiaobai nodded.

"When are you coming?" Lin Dawei asked.

Jiang Xiaobai smiled bitterly and said, "Tang Xiaozhou asked me to convey such a sentence, and I didn't say anything else." ”

After speaking, he added: "He also said that he would visit several of my factories." ”

Lin Dawei raised his eyebrows, glanced at Jiang Xiaobai deeply, stretched out his hand and said, "Another cigarette, I don't have any eyesight!" ”

Jiang Xiaobai smiled, handed over a Huazi again, and lit a match for the old man to light it.

Lin Dawei smoked silently, one puff after another.

Jiang Xiaobai saw it, although he had a lot of doubts in his heart, but Lin Dawei didn't speak, and he couldn't speak.

Under the old elm tree, there was silence for a while, only the top of the tree did not know where, and the birds "squeaked...... and squeaked" non-stop, a little noisy.

It wasn't until a cigarette was finished that Lin Dawei extinguished the cigarette butt and turned to face the big elm tree with a complicated expression.

After a long time, he turned his head and said, "This old elm tree was planted by my grandfather himself, and it has been more than 100 years now, and it has witnessed the growth of our Lin family for several generations. ”

After saying that, he smiled bitterly and continued: "Speaking of which, you don't believe it, none of the people from our Lin family who walked out from here have never come back so far. ”

Jiang Xiaobai was stunned for a moment, and couldn't help asking, "Why?" ”

Lin Dawei looked puzzled and said: "Some can't come back, some don't want to come back, in short, one person from each generation of the Lin family stays in Jianyang and takes root next to this old elm tree, and the rest of the clansmen have gone out." ”

"Xiangjiang River, Snow Mountain, Grassland, Taihang Mountain, Yangtze River Estuary, Shangganling, many places have our Lin family stayed there forever, my father is the youngest of them, he often said that he did not dare to come back to enter the ancestral ancestral hall......"

"Second brother, maybe the first person to come back after going out!"

Jiang Xiaobai instantly understood.

He really didn't know that the Lin family, where his wife was, still had so much glorious history. It's no wonder that Lin Daodao can go to such a high position!

And listening to the words of the old man, Lin Daodao is only the second brother, and there is a big brother above him!

So who is that?

Searching through his memory, he couldn't think of a related name.

Pressing the doubts in his heart, Jiang Xiaobai said: "Dad, the leader of Tang Xiaozhou is your second brother?" ”

Lin Dawei nodded: "That's right, I guess you also know, he is the number one in our province, I didn't expect you to be in his eyes!" ”

Jiang Xiaobai said curtly: "I didn't do anything, but Tang Xiaozhou asked me something." ”

Lin Dawei waved his hand and said, "You don't have to mind, I never talk to him, since I do, he knows the relationship between you and me, it's a matter of time." ”

After speaking, he waved his hand, "Let's go back to the house, it's still too hot here." ”

After the two entered the house, Lin Dawei sat for a while, and Li Xinghua came to pick him up from work.

Jiang Xiaobai played with her daughter in the house, and time flew by.

When it was almost dark, Jiang Xiaofeng came to pick up Jiang Ting, and when he saw Jiang Xiaobai, he said in surprise: "Brother, when did you come back?" ”

Jiang Xiaobai said: "Qingzhou, which I arrived in yesterday afternoon, came to Jianyang this morning. ”

Jiang Xiaofeng said: "Uncle Lin gave the melon seed factory a crusher and a cake press, which have been installed. Are you going to make pumpkin pie? ”

Jiang Xiaobai nodded and said, "I know about this, I'll talk about things at work tomorrow, you can take Tingting back first." ”

Jiang Xiaofeng originally wanted to tell Jiang Xiaobai about the melon seed factory, but when he heard him say this, he had to give up and beckoned Jiang Ting to go back.

"Quack goodbye!"

"Goodbye, uncle!"

"Goodbye, uncle!"

Before Jiang Ting left, she greeted politely.

She shouted quack to Liu Yiting, and she shouted with Jiang Shan.

Jiang Xiaofeng also politely said to Liu Yiting: "I'm causing trouble to Bo Xian again." ”

Liu Yiting smiled and said, "Tingting is very well-behaved, you don't have to be polite." Tingting, come back tomorrow! ”

"Okay, quack!"

Jiang Xiaofeng led Jiang Ting to the outside of the house, and Jiang Xiaobai followed out.

At this time, the sun is setting, not as hot as at noon, but still muggy.

"Brother, it's hot outside, you don't have to come out." Jiang Xiaofeng said.

Jiang Xiaobai said: "I brought you and your younger siblings a watch from Jiangcheng, and I will give it to you in my car." ”

"What do you want to do with a watch for us, there's no need to spend this money!" Jiang Xiaofeng said.

Jiang Xiaobai said: "The watch is not an ornament, it is always to remind us that time is precious, you are also the factory director now, you must learn time management, and it is convenient to have a watch." ”

"Oooh! Thank you, brother! ”

Time management or something, Jiang Xiaofeng doesn't understand, anyway, it is convenient to see the time with a watch.

Jiang Xiaobai took out the convenience bag that had been prepared a long time ago from the jeep, and it only contained two Omega watches, but he didn't buy anything else for the two of them.

Jiang Xiaofeng took the convenience bag and thanked him again.

Jiang Xiaobai smiled, "You are still polite to me!" ”

After speaking, he asked again: "Do you still smoke?" ”

Jiang Xiaofeng smiled wryly, and Jiang Xiaobai returned to the car, took two Huazi and handed them to him.

"Thank you, brother!"

Jiang Xiaofeng took it with a smile, happier than Jiang Xiaobai giving him the watch.

Seeing Jiang Xiaofeng driving away with a 140 truck, Jiang Xiaobai couldn't help but shake his head. Some people's happiness is as simple as that, picking up their daughters and sending cigarettes to smoke.

Perhaps, such a person is more likely to feel happy!

In the last life, because of poverty, Jiang Xiaofeng went to the west to dig coal and lost his life.

In this life, he changed Jiang Xiaofeng's poor fate.

In the future, Jiang Xiaofeng will not go to the northwest to dig coal again.

It's just that he doesn't know how far he can change the fate of the people around him?

I hope Xiaofeng can always be so simple and happy!

Jiang Xiaobai blessed in his heart, and silently turned around and entered the house.
